About This Home
As of August 2024This renovated Burton Valley home is nestled at the end of a cul-de-sac at the foot of a wooded hillside. It is a quick stroll to Burton Valley Elementary School and a short drive to all of the top-rated schools, restaurants and shopping of Lafayette and Walnut Creek. The home features new interior paint, new engineered wood floors throughout, new interior and exterior lighting fixtures, and new bathroom fixtures and features. The renovated kitchen flows into a family room with fireplace, and also a dining room that easily accommodates 6-8. The spacious living room alongside the dining room features another substantial fireplace. The primary bedroom, with an en-suite bathroom, sits under an attractive peaked ceiling with new recessed lighting. Two other bedrooms, which share a bathroom, lie nearby, each with attractive garden views. The fourth bedroom, which easily could be configured as an office, sits below. The back yard, tucked into the hillside, offers a flat area a few steps up that could be built into a play area. Outside the kitchen, and spanning the length of the home to the rear, is a shaded wooded deck, featuring a hot tub. The attached 2-car garage has shelves installed and plenty of storage space. This attractive home exemplifies happy life in Burton Valley.
